Tom stalked the suite like a caged tiger. There was no point in hiding
his frusteration any longer.
Colin had banished him while he decided what to do with him.
Which left Tom in limbo.
He hated limbo.

Tom sat down on the sofa and stared at the door. He had thought of just
leaving. His deal with Colin was completed but Tom knew he couldn't. If
he left that Colin would discover that he had 'failed' in his mission
and that Tate was still alive.
Which would bring Colin's wrath down on Sloan and the baby.
Tom shook his head...he hadn't been there when she needed him but he'd
be damned if he let anything else harm her.
He just had to be ready for whatever Colin threw at him.

Attwood had a bad feeling about this whole situation.
The unlikely trio had entered the highrise through a service enterance
in the underground garage just after dusk.
/This was nuts./Walter thought darkly,/They only had one gun between
them. Nevermind the fact that the new species could detect them./
"I'm assuming you have a plan."Walter whispered as the three people
crept along the lines of cars heading for a frieght elevator,"Now might
be a good time to let us know what we're doing."
"All in good time,Doctor."Lewis replied distractedly.
"They can detect us."Lucy commented voicing Attwood's earlier
thought,"How do you plan to get around that?"
Lewis kept his gaze on their destination,"If I was concerned about that,
Ms. Sanchez I would not have brought you along."
"I'm honored."Lucy replied sarcasticly under her breath just as Lewis
stopped suddenly causing the others to collide into him.

"We have to take the stairs."Lewis announced as the trio stopped about
two rows before the frieght elevator.
Lucy glared at him,"No, if they know we're here which they probably do.
We'll be wasting time taking the stairs."
"She has a point."Attwood replied as his eyes constantly scanned the
garage looking for any signs of an attack.
Lewis turned to face them,"We do not have time to debate this. If you
both wish to live to see another sunrise you will do what I say without
question."
Sachez opened her mouth to protest but Walter quickly clamped a hand
over her mouth.
Lucy shook him off but they both had to move quickly to catch up with
Lewis who was already a flight above.

Ed stared in amazement at the blood samples beneath the microscope lens.
Not only were the poisons alike they were practicly twins.
Tom had sent him the antidote.

Tate jerked his head up and glanced at Sloan. He instantly regreted the
fast movement as a wave of dizziness washed over him.
Ed sighed,he just wish Tom had found a much less painful way to deliver
it.
Ed carefully took the two blood samples out and set about to make the
antidote. He just prayed that they were in time.
